I would open. But i am aware my choice is very agressive, for some of you probably insane, but whatever, i would really open. Please don't throw eggs on me, i am just honestly saying what i would do with this hand.
Opening light has disadvanteges, worst of them is finding a partner who has no fit and not enough hcps to close the gap, but strong enough to drag us too high and perhaps doubled. I am aware of that, but i really think this hand has really good pottential to find a fit. Passing is obviously the normal call on that hand, i am also aware that i am splitting my path from others.
Otoh Rainer was more than fair enough actually, we see almost all 11 hcp 4432 hands opening, let alone 5431. (check the vugraph archives, i am talking about world class top players) So 544 with decent spotr and both majors instead of 4432 worths 2 hcp ? I dunno, but having both majors i am getting in right now.
